Origen

An Old English word that originally meant ‘to roll, toss’ and ‘to wander’, and did not start to mean ‘walk’ until about 1300. The odd expression walk of life, meaning ‘a person's occupation or position within society’, probably derives from the use of walk to refer to the round or circuit of a travelling tradesman or official. In Australian English a walkabout is a journey into the bush that an Aboriginal makes to re-establish contact with traditions and spiritual sources—to go walkabout is to go on such a journey. Since around 1970 the term has also been used of the informal strolls among welcoming crowds favoured by members of the royal family and visiting dignitaries. It can also mean ‘to go missing, disappear’, especially in the context of small objects such as pens, car keys, and television remote controls. The Sony Walkman, a type of personal stereo using cassette tapes, was trademarked in 1981 became a generic term for ‘personal stereo’. See also blood

walk through

In the line up I start by reminding the actors of how we approached the scene in rehearsal and then asking them just to walk through the action.

Expecting an actor to have the stamina to walk through a piece dozens of times while the set dressers worry about where to place a fire hydrant, and then provide a fresh, emotional performance just isn't reasonable.
